Like Switch Galaxy, the PlayStation Mobile title on which it is based, Switch Galaxy Ultra is sort of a racer and sort of an arcade reflex game – it reminds me of Flick Pig, and the trailer below gives the best explanation.

On the PlayStation Blog, developer Atomicom said the new version has new assets, a re-designed HUD and menu, new features, new levels, more ships, more power-ups and various improvements.

The most notable improvement is that the game will run in 60 FPS, despite a visual upgrade. There’s also a story sequence told in comic strips, courtesy of Darren Douglas, a Judge Dredd cover artist who worked on every Wipeout game. It introduces two new characters, Vince and Amur, and has a licensed soundtrack, although Atomicom isn’t ready to discuss which DJs it’s signed.
